I Only Want You novel Chapter 62

The phone call was made, but nobody picked it up until it finished ringing.

James Lu furrowed his eyebrows and called again! But still, nobody answered!

"Well, well, well, Elizabeth, it looks like you've got quite a temper!"

James grunted and tried again. He was determined to hear her answer the call.

But Elizabeth Liang, who was entirely focused on cleaning the bathroom, had no idea that her cellphone had been vibrating in her changing room locker.

After the 37th unanswered call, James finally gave up and miserably hurled his cellphone onto the couch.

The phone bounced off the couch and fell onto the floor.

James became even more infuriated. He wanted to kick it away, out of sight and out of mind, but he suddenly stopped and bent down to pick it up.

James dialed Isaac Bai's number. He roared into the phone as soon as the call connected, "What kind of bullsh*t advice did you give me last night? Worked like crap!"

Not only did it work like crap, but it was also embarrassing as hell! He could feel his blood boiling just by thinking about what happened this morning! His display of incredible generosity was a saintly miracle, a divine blessing she should have been honored to witness! Yet how did she react?

"What?" Isaac was still in a daze from just waking up, and was confused by James's shouting.

"You're still sleeping? Do you know what time it is? Lazy bone!"

Isaac sobered up a little, but his voice was still quite hoarse from fatigue after pulling an all- nighter. "I stood for more than ten hours for an operation at midnight. Believe it or not, I need rest. Did you think that I was invincible?"

"I don't give a sh*t about your job." Isaac's work was the least of James's concerns right now. He said irritably, "Weren't you bragging about how experienced and skilled you are yesterday? Why was your advice f*cking useless?"

Isaac sighed, got up, and lit a cigarette to clear his mind. "Did you apologize?"

"Of course I didn't."

"See?" Isaac replied as if he fully anticipated James's answer. "Tell me, how was it useless?"

Frustrated, James rambled on about how he offered to take Elizabeth to school and kept calling her.

Isaac chuckled for a while and said, "What did I say about women and their grudges? Guess who didn't listen? Do you see what I mean now?"

"Is now the time for this?"

"What do you wanna talk about then?"

"That god damn woman still hasn't come home!" James spoke through gritted teeth.

"Are you worried about her?"

"I'm hungry, okay?"

Isaac let out another chuckle. Then he suggested, "Since you don't want to apologize, and she won't let you take her to school, AND she's still not home ... can't you just pick her up?"

James drove to A University and parked his car in front of the campus entrance.

He leaned against the car as he watched the students come out in groups, with an annoyed frown on his face.

What an unbelievably petty f*cking woman, not only did she refuse to answer his calls, but now she resorted to hiding in school to avoid going home!

Hmph!

James was almost about to blurt out, "Of course I'm looking for god damn Elizabeth Liang." But he felt a wave of annoyance as soon as he opened his mouth.

He had already promised that f*cking woman not to tell others about their marriage. So what was he supposed to say now? Wasn't it more suspicious if he couldn't say anything at all?

Wealthy folks and rich kids often drove to college campuses to pick people up in their expensive cars. It was unspoken but common knowledge of why they were here.

Did he want this fat middle-aged man in front of him to get the wrong idea about his character?

As he considered his options in exasperation, President Fang opened his mouth, "Are you here to discuss my application for Lu Enterprises to invest in our library, Mr. Lu?"

A University currently had a large and rather satisfactory library. However, ever since President Fang went abroad recently to inspect foreign institutions, he had been dissastisfied with the quality of the campus library.

But how could he go about building a bigger, better, and more digitalized library? The government couldn't grant him that much money, so he had to turn to private companies.

He talked to several corporations, including Lu Enterprises, but all of them told him that they needed further consideration. They've been considering for months by now!

James was confused. Did that happen?

After some more careful thought... Oh, it did, maybe.

He only wondered for a second before he quickly replaced his inappropriate expression with a solemn nod. Who cared what he was talking about, as long as he didn't think that James was here to wait for a college girl. Even though he was indeed waiting for a college girl!

Wrinkles piled up on President Fang's face from glee. "That's wonderful news!" Then he looked at the darkened sky. "However..." Wasn't it a little too late in the day to discuss the library investment?

James had an acutely honed insight from working in business for years. He could accurately guess the majority of President Fang's doubts at the moment.

"Ahem!" James cleared his throat. "I saw the application you submitted a while ago." In fact, he hadn't read a single word of it. He immediately chucked it into the garbage as soon as Samuel Lee handed over the application.

"I was in a pretty good mood today!" He was actually in a horrible mood the entire day! "So I came out for a stroll, and found myself here. I wanted to come in and take a look, so I can know better about what I'm dealing with!"
